“I wasn’t hoping for the best Valentine’s Day. I just wanted to see you forget everything and live in the moment with me. That is my tribute to you. I know that there were a few things that we had yet to experience, and I figured that this was a way to let you do it all at once.”
“It’s amazing, Raph,” I whispered. Emotion was overwhelming me to the point of fear. I didn’t want to say something to ruin how wonderful this was. But I knew it now more than ever that I was in love with him. And that was a problem. Raphael didn’t do love. Lust and passion were his games. Love was taboo.
“And yet it pales when compared to you.”
I slid my hands up to his face, holding him still. He was going to break my heart. This crazy man was going to be the reason that everything fell apart. My undoing. He was sweet and had a way with words. Demanding, yet so giving. Commanding, yet so humble and sincere. All of him was so big and dynamite, yet he’d worked his way into my heart little by little until he completely captivated me. I’d gone three years with no other man ever comparing to having him right here in front of me but still so out of reach. I was a fool, but I regretted nothing. It was worth it. This moment was worth it.
“Raphael Dubois…”
“Anise Martine…”
“Thank you so very much for everything that you’ve done for me. You never ask for anything in return. You’re special. A unique person who I’m so in awe of. I’ve never regretted saying yes that day. Taking that taxi with you was the best thing I’ve ever done.”
“Because you wanted to learn about cherry gateau basque?”
“No.” I giggled. “Because you’re truly amazing.”
“Ah, but so are you, Anise. Getting to know you has been one of the greatest parts of the past few years. I hope that it only gets better.”
“Me too.”
Raphael chose that moment to kiss me. It was slow and seemed to last forever. It wasn’t rushed or even frenzied. We took our time savoring the feel of one another with only our mouths. While I was beyond aroused, it wasn’t my desire that needed to be fed. It was my soul and my heart. He’d teased me earlier until he starved me for anything from him. And now, I was sipping everything that he gave me with new appreciation. Salvation.
“Our time is almost up, mon trésor. Are you ready?”
Afraid to open my mouth to say anything, I nodded. I knew what was on the tip of my tongue, and there was no way that I could ever say that to him. I noticed a boat sailing, and I walked toward the window to get a closer look. It also gave me the space that I needed to keep myself together.
Raphael can never know how I feel because I’m not ready to lose him. That was the one thing that I knew for sure. I’m not ready at all.
Chapter Six
RAPHAEL
I never expected the tables to turn. Anise walked up to me, wrapped her arms around my neck, and whispered in my ear.
“I can’t stop thinking about the way your mouth has felt on my body all day. Can we do some more of that?”
Unexpectedly, I pulled away and looked at her to make sure that the day’s caffeine and sugar weren’t making her dizzy with insanity.
“Are you sure?” I continued searching her face for any signs of hesitation.
“Absolutely.”
We made it home in record time and pulled her up to my room. There was no stopping for pleasantries or the sort. Inside my room, I stripped her down and sat her on the bed before burying my head between her legs.
“Raph!”
I knew it was reckless and completely inappropriate to torture her this way, but I couldn’t help it. The bottled sexual tension between us was making me crazy. I needed to take off the edge before I ravished her how she deserved.
Anise grabbed for my head and I slapped her hands away, making her moan louder. She tried again, and I grunted my frustrations at her. I took off my shirt and used it to tie her hands together, putting them behind her head. She struggled to free them, but when my tongue pressed firmly to her clit, it made her extremely compliant.
Her entire body quivered while I had my way with her in my mouth. She bucked and moaned, coming repeatedly. Yet, I couldn’t get my fill of her. At some point, she grabbed a pillow and held onto it for dear life as her body succumbed to me.
Limp and helpless, she lay exhausted and unable to move. I removed the wet tendrils of hair from her face, and she refused to look at me. I didn’t ask her how she got her arms around the thick, plush pillow from beneath her head. Her body had ended up in so many positions that she probably didn’t know.
“Hmm…” Anise whined.
I stood, taking my time. I removed all of my clothing and slid on a condom before parting her legs. Anise gasped as I teased her sensitive sex with my thickness.
